Overnight Celebrity Journey of Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty from 'Adolescence', Spider-Man Speculations, and Praise from Adele and Steven Spielberg
In the world of television, the 77th Emmy Awards have been a hot topic, with the Netflix drama "Adolescence" making a significant impact. The series, which tells the story of a high school shooting, has garnered 13 nominations, including one for Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series [2][3].
The series has also set Emmy acting campaigns for its ensemble cast, with Stephen Graham vying for Outstanding Lead Actor (Limited), and Owen Cooper, a 15-year-old actor, nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited/Anthology Series for his role as Jamie Miller [1][4].
As of August 2025, there is no specific confirmation of Emmy wins for "Adolescence," only the nominations and campaigns [1][2][4]. However, the series has been highly praised for its innovative single-take filming, cinematography, direction, and compelling performances [3].
For young star Owen Cooper, this nomination marks a significant breakthrough, securing his first major Emmy nomination at the tender age of 15. This early recognition positions him as a promising new talent to watch in dramatic acting [1][4].
Meanwhile, Erin Doherty, another notable cast member, is part of the ensemble nourishing the strong acting reputation of the show. While her specific Emmy nomination or campaign status is not detailed in these results, being associated with such a critically acclaimed series supports her standing in high-quality drama projects.
The success of "Adolescence" has not only boosted the visibility of its lead and supporting actors but also broken records for Netflix. The series has smashed viewership records, with 145 million views in the first half of 2025 [5].
Despite the Emmy buzz, Cooper is not in a rush to play Spider-Man, as some fans might hope. Instead, he is taking his summer holiday and plans to spend most of it visiting friends in his town in the north of England [6]. In the meantime, Cooper is shooting for a role in Emerald Fennell's all-star "Wuthering Heights" feature adaptation [7].
Doherty, on the other hand, will soon start filming the BBC series "California Avenue" with Bill Nighy, Helena Bonham-Carter, and Tom Burke [8]. The actress was surprised by the viewership numbers of "Adolescence" and shared that she attempted to buy Oasis tickets but missed out on them [5].
As the Emmy Awards approach, both Cooper and Doherty have expressed their excitement about the possibility of meeting their idols. Cooper hopes to meet Pedro Pascal and Jeremy Allen White, while Doherty dreams of meeting Michelle Williams and the cast of "The White Lotus" [9].
In the end, the success of "Adolescence" has undoubtedly positioned both Cooper and Doherty as rising stars in the world of television, with promising careers ahead. The series has become a cultural and political talking point around the world, and its impact on the industry is undeniable [6].
